/r/OldSkaters
This subreddit is for the older skaters (anyone above 30). If you are a new old skater you are in the right place as well.
You can post your videos, give and receive tips on tricks you're having difficulty with, your new board setup, what you think would be good for a new skater to get and anything else you find relevant. Skaters of all skill levels are welcome.
There is no age restriction as long as you are not posting your skating footage (See rules below before posting).
This subreddit is for the older skaters (anyone above 30). If you are a new old skater you are in the right place as well.
There is no age restriction as long as you are not posting your skating footage (videos or photos).
Your post will be removed if it violates this rule.
This is implemented by design to allow the younger skaters to interact with the older skaters but not make the subreddit pointless.
If you are less than [30YO] and want to post your skating footage please use communities which are more appropriate (ex: r/skateboarding).
TITLE RULES:
Your post should contain the following tag at the end [ageYO], where age is your current age in numbers.
For example, I am 38 years old. Therefore, all my post titles this birthday year will be followed by the following:
[38YO]
Common issues:
. You are missing your age tag.
. You forgot to include YO in your age tag after age number.
. You did not enclose tag in square brackets [].
. You did not place the tag at the end of the title. (it should be the last thing, no periods after it).
Note: There is no age restriction as long as you are not posting your skating footage. If it doesn't make sense to specify an age just put [0YO].
You can post your videos, give and receive tips on tricks you're having difficulty with, your new board setup and anything else you find relevant. Skaters of all skill levels are welcome.

Kickflip practice [52YO]
Never learned these bitd, I didn't understand that is was "out", not "down" on the flip. I started getting the flip after a few days of practice this past spring but stalled out. Recently saw a video of a guy doing them sitting down. I tried that and realized what my issue was, not lifting the back foot. Now I set up some surf straps hanging from a beam to pull myself up with and they're starting to feel possible. I'm pretty sure I'll have these dialed in another 35 years or so.

Looking for old ad [47YO]
This is a weird shot in the dark, but I remember this old ad from way back in the day in either a skateboarding or snowboarding magazine:
"Trip out Nature Boy".
I don't even remember what it was for! Or what it looked like even. Maybe for Gnu snowboards? Anyways, for some reason it really stuck with one of my buds and I, and would just love to see it again, or even confirm that l'd didn't hallucinate it. Thanks!
